Figure 16: incisal (ie & P-ie) and translucent (te) enamel shades
ie & P-ie can be applied on the
incisal edge, occlusal third and
proximal surfaces in adult patients
cVe offers the appropriate
translucency to let the cervical
dentin shine through
in elderly patients, te can be
applied on the occlusal third, incisal
edge and proximal surfaces
additionally, the te shade can be used to reproduce the transparent layer that
can be observed at the enamodentinal junction (Figure 17). this will simulate a
natural in-depth effect.

as patients are becoming older and teeth
remain longer in the mouth, special attention
must be paid to the aesthetics in the cervical
area. the application of cVe (cervical enamel)
will increase the translucency and therefore
the vividness of class V restorations
significantly.

Inside Special Shades – adding opacity
inside special shades have a higher opacity
(lower translucency) than standard shades and
are available as aO2, aO3 and aO4. conforming
to the Vita classification, these 3 shades have
similar hue but an increased chroma content.
Opacity is kept at the same level.
inside special shades are placed underneath a
Standard Shade to add warmth to the final
restoration and, compared to standard shades,
have an increased opacity to eradicate the
characteristic 'dark shine' throughout the
mouth. they are also particularly useful to
mask dentin discolorations and to hide the preparation line in large class iV restorations.
